Editorial standards
Clear sources. Visible limits. No invented authority.
Heat safety deserves precise language. This policy explains who produces HeatGuard content and how we keep automated weather pages accountable.
Effective and last reviewed August 20, 2026
01
Who creates the content
The HeatGuard Editorial Team writes and maintains the website. We identify the team—not a fictional expert—as the author. Our current material is educational and source-led; it has not been presented as individualized medical or legal advice.
02
How claims are supported
Safety and calculation claims should link to primary or authoritative sources such as the National Weather Service, CDC/NIOSH, OSHA, EPA, WHO and National Park Service. Source lists are specific to each guide.
03
How pages are reviewed
We review calculation descriptions against the production code, check external guidance for changes, label estimated values, and show a last-reviewed date on substantive guides. Material changes trigger a new review date.
04
How automation is used
Forecast values and city summaries are assembled automatically from provider data and deterministic calculations. We do not use generated prose to invent local conditions, medical advice or source claims.
05
Corrections
If a calculation description, source or safety statement is wrong or outdated, we correct it promptly and update the review date. Product feedback can be sent through the support channel listed in the HeatGuard iPhone app.
06
What HeatGuard is not
HeatGuard is not a medical device, emergency service, official weather warning service, WBGT instrument or workplace-compliance system. Users should follow official alerts and the protocols that govern their activity.
